I watched it before the Hawks game aired tonight and they praised our Atlanta Hawks. Both Greg Anthony and Jalen Rose (Atlanta) continued to mention how they expect Atlanta to make the playoffs and how high their confidence will be.

Just happy to see the Hawks get some praise after all these years.

This team performs better when no one talks about them in the media. Tonight loss will be a good thing in terms of the media backing off of them.

Our worst loss would come after we finally make a move and get some national attenton. We're the Hawks!

Bibby made a couple of passes tonight that I our PG's have only made a few times this season. I'm not too upset about tonight, we just ran into a buzzsaw and have a PG still getting used to the offense.

Nothing to take away from tonight game. Wed game against the Kings is important though. I expect a better performance in that game. Hopefully it will be a game the Hawks can steal.

The Hawks were not prepared to play for whatever reason(which led to all kind of crazy turnovers and missed defensive assignments). I don't think playing a red hot team on the road helped either. Bibby and the rest of the team should play much better and put much more emphasis on a fast start vs the Kings.

Laker fan here: I only saw the sportscenter highlights but I wouldnt worry too much about this last game. ATL is my team in the east and adding bibby makes you that much better. Alot of teams including the pistons came out flat today after the break. I have no doubt you will smash off sacramento tonight.

Yeah, I saw it too, they were RAVING about how good Bibby is at the pick and roll. We saw a glimpse of it when he hit Horford on it for the dunk. They were saying he's one of the top players in the NBA at the pick and roll. That's a great option to have.

I knew alot about Bibby, but didn't know he was THAT good at the P&R as they were saying.

Return to Atlanta Hawks
